Couple 'have justice for first time' after separate killings of three sons

John and Linda Burke-Monerville were in court for the sentencing of son David's killers; no one has been convicted over the deaths of two other sons

A couple who have lost three sons to separate killings said they had got justice for the first time after three men were sentenced for a total of 58 years for their roles in the fatal stabbing of David Bello-Monerville.

John and Linda Burke-Monerville were in court on Tuesday for the sentencing of the three men involved in the murder of their son David, who was killed in north London in June 2019. Nathan Harewood, 29, was sentenced to 31 years for his murder. Khalil Rehman, 27, and Francis Appiageyi, 28, were found guilty of manslaughter and sentenced to 13-and-a-half years each. All three were found guilty of aggravated burglary and unlawful wounding of David's brother Taiye, 35.
